Weekend Highlights

Woohoo--last week of work before the holidays and 2 full, glorious weeks off! 
But before we get there, let's recap the weekend shall we?

My weekend highlights included:

-Friday night holiday party with some friends from work (MG is not pictured because he and the other guys were off talking about house stuff and whatever else boys talk about lol--so glad he gets along with my friends' husbands and boyfriends so easily tho!)

-A hubby-made breakfast, both mornings (he's the best)

-MG's work party Saturday afternoon where I got to meet a lot of the people who are in his new office (now I have faces to put with the names that I hear)--didn't take any pictures because I'm a bad blogger

-Wore my cute Toms booties and got several compliments ;)

-The family who rented our house from us before we moved in came by for a bit and we got to see their super cute girls who loved up on Cooper. They got to see all the stuff we've done to the house since the last time they came over and they were impressed :)

-Tried to have dinner at the newly opened YardHouse but the wait was insane #maybenexttime

-Sleeping in both mornings of the weekend

-Cooper had a boo-boo on his paw so he got a festive red wrap so he'd stop licking at it
#holidaypup ? lol
yes his leg is actually that skinny under all that fur lol
-Our realtor that we worked with for our house dropped off a pretty wreath for us

-Ran errands, picked up some last minute Christmas gifts for family (and splurged on these yummies):

-MG put part of his birthday gift to use making his much-desired Moscow Mule (it was delicious!)

-Watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

-Finished the book Wedding Night (review to come), and started reading The Andy Cohen Diaries immediately after.

-Watched the final episode of Newsroom. Bummed it's over.

I hope your weekends were filled with holiday fun!

(and Monday Morning Gossip, but something is up with their linky button)

I wanted to take a moment and pay my respect to the children and teachers who lost their lives two years ago yesterday at Sandy Hook. 
Please appreciate each and every day that you have, and make the most of your every-days. And don't forget these sweet faces. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of these innocent kiddos, the teachers who lost their lives protecting these little souls, and the families of all.
Focus on what's important this holiday season--family, love and friendship!

  9. OMG Milano's has peppermint slices?!!! I'll be making my way to grocery store during my lunch hour today. :)

  10. How are those Milano slices?! We've tried ones with toffee and they are so delicious. I really can't believe it's been 2 years since Newtown. Before I moved to SC, I lived about an hour from there and did some programming at their schools - it really does make you think about your life so differently.

  11. The moscow mules look so fun! I've been wanting to try one out. I like to use Tito's vodka as well for my martinis.

  13. That was so sweet of your realtor to drop off a wreath for you! Milano cookies are my fave. :)

  14. I'm not allowed to buy those MIlano b/c I eat them all in a day...by myself. It's a real bummer to lack total self control :)
    And we have a Yardhouse in ATL - I wonder if it's the same?

    And I love that you mentioned the Sandy Hook kids. I feel like a lot of the time we rally around a tragedy so hard and then forget about it. <3

    Happy two weeks off!!
